Can we talk about how Material You has only removed customization options.

Just got Android 12 on my pixel 5 yesterday. For an update that's marketed as being about "You", all Google has done is removed options to customize.

Let's refresh ourselves on what Android 11 can do.

Choose from 7 Fonts.
Choose from 7 quick setting icon styles.
Choose from 14 colours.
Choose from 7 App shapes.
Choose the Grid size.
You can then save all those as a profile, so you can easily switch between profiles.

Now let's look at Android 12 with...

Swift Backup 3.7 adds Android 12 support and uses Shizuku to perform batch backups without root

Pretty significant update to Swift Backup - a comprehensive app and data backup solution on Android (and alternative to Titanium Backup) - just got released. Version 3.7 not only adds Android 12 support but also uses Shizuku to perform many batch actions without needing root.

While you still can't do a full backup of app data without root (understandable), this should help speed up making and managing manual backups of ...

Android 12 growing pains?

I'm seeing a lot of feature related reviews and some positive response for the latest update. As a Pixel 5 user I have to say I'm not finding the visual overhaul to be very intuitive, and I'm not personally seeing any useful improvements. I don't use widgets really so that's probably part of why the benefits are lost on me. But usually after a day or so I get used to a visual update and move on. This time I find myself continually bothered by the changes.

Am I the only one? Curious to see other...

Pixel 6 Pro vs. Samsung S21 Ultra (Snapdragon) Actual Comparison

Alright, I've been comparing the two side by side for about a day now and there are some GLARING differences that I have not heard mentioned or seen in reviews. I don't know how it's possible since if you compare side by side it's incredibly obvious, but here we go:

To set the stage, I've owned every Pixel since the 2 except for the 5. Have owned OP 7Pro and S21 Ultra the last few years in between and was extremely excited about Google finally making a flagship. Sadly, I think they fell short (...

Swype keyboard's servers finally went down.

If someone is interested, Like me, after so many years of using...

I needed to revert my phone from android 12 to 11 because it was a disgrace to use, visually and functionally, and now after installing my beloved swype apk and trying to download new languages, I can not, and the servers are offline. 2 months ago they were still online.

I dont know how but I hope I will be able to dig today in my old phone and get the language files. If I make it I will upload what I have here for people to us...
